Description
Light, tangy, and sweet pancakes made with buttermilk and blueberries that are ready in just 15 minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights or weekend mornings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 ¼ cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until no clumps remain.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined. The batter should be lumpy; do not overmix.
- Gently fold the blueberries into the batter using a spatula.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Test readiness by flicking water drops onto the surface; they should bead up and dance.
- Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and pop, leaving holes that don’t fill back in. The edges should look set.
- Flip carefully and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and springy to the touch.
- Serve immediately with maple syrup and butter.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter; lumps are good and ensure fluffiness. Use frozen blueberries to prevent sinking. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven on a wire rack. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
